My father's computer's automatic update system

Hello everyone, my father's computer automatically updated, and then all the previous files on the computer were gone, leaving only the Windows system. Does anyone know what happened?

    Seems like an interesting case...

    It might be because of an incomplete update/error while updating you can fix this by a setting called go back to the previous version or going to advanced options from there uninstalling an update or if u created a restore point from there you could get you files back.

    Check if there is a folder named Windows.old on this computer; your files may be inside it.
